Re: Actually its the Predators firing up their training facility.....

"quality of that movie"

I watched it in a French cinema, with no English subs, with my French ex-girlfriend. Lacking any real skills in the French language, beyond asking for a beer, I could still follow what was happening with the most simplistic of plot ever and even I could tell the film was crap. I've since watched it in English and confirmed that it was indeed crap.

Re: Opera's share seems have gone negative...

I don't think I've had a single addon break since Mozilla moved Firefox over to the new version/update system.

Re: DEAD CAT UPWARD DEATH SPIRAL ALERT!!

If you liked Chrome, but dislike all the creepy Googly stuff, then why not give Iron a try? Its Chrome but with all the creepy stuff stripped out.

Alternatively they could be friends of the driver of the Google car, and had been given prior warning.

Re: Stylus !

Could it be that Bob (and you, and others?) just have extraordinarily large sausage fingers (for desktop mode)? I used to operate the lighting in a nightclub with an 12" 1024x768 ELO touchscreen monitor attached to a box running WinXP and had no problems whatsoever.

Re: Handset manufacturers and network love stolen phones

Blacklisting is used, well, in the UK and Australia it is. All networks here (and in Oz) register the IMEI of reported lost/stolen phones with the CEIR, which then share the list of blacklisted IMEIs with the other networks. Whether or not someone can be bothered to report a lost/stolen phone (especially if its a cheapo PAYG handset with no insurance) and just chalk it up to stupidity/experience is a completely different matter.

Re: $500/hr

"I reckon it would be fairly impressive"

Its about $25k when Mars is at its absolute closest opposition to earth, about 33.9 million miles. At their furthest point from each other (both opposition and ophelion), around 249 million miles, the charge would be around $187k.

Re: More adverts, everywhere.

The term "sideload" amuses me when refers to Android as it actually allows you to install software from elsewhere (as long as you tick a box buried in the settings).

I always thought sideloading was used in relation to the installation of software, via an undocumented method/hack, on devices which don't specifically allow the installation of software from places other than their own app store.

Anyway, can't see the point of apps like AdBlock taking up CPU time and consuming precious elecktrickery when a perfectly good, and frequently updated, hosts file does exactly the same job with either none or very, very little extra overhead.

We need to go deeper.

"There DLNA "Play to" Integration is the Dogs Bollocks....

If you think S0NYs DLNA Player / Aggregater (whatever...) is shite"

In UK* English the "Dog Bollocks" is slang for something being good. Just as in yesteryear bad also meant good and, nowadays, sick means good too.

_{*I'm assuming you're not from the UK as the term "Dog Bollocks" seems to pervasive from one end of this Isle to the other.}

Genius! I do love a bit of Lee.

@Another Reader

You're paying too much. £12 a month on Giff Gaff gets you 250 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data, plus unlimited Giff Gaff to Giff Gaff calls and texts for 3 months. Alternatively, £15 nets you the same except the minutes are boosted up to 400.

Still, I'm glad I'm not that side of the pond!

Wrong. Lynsey Dawn McKenzie has.

Re: This makes no sense

I was pretty much thinking the same thing myself. For me however the combination of Sunny Leone and Tori Black is absolutely perfect.

Incidentally, I'm disappointed at El Reg missing the opportunity to include some sort of "click to enlarge" caption with the image! :D

Re: So with my duff connection speed...

"good 20mbit connection"

Your connection isn't as good as you think it is then, or your ISP is doing a bit of jiggery-pokery with the streams. I watched My Polar Bear Family and Me in HD a few weeks ago (on the BBC live replay thingy, the program had already started when I remembered it was on) and the quality was pretty damned good. This is with VM on a 10Mb connection.

Re: I woud rather

Now I know this is not the ideal answer you were looking for but, if you know a search is going to throw up lots of undesired results for Facebook, then simply use "-facebook" in the search string. Like I said, not ideal but it does the job.

As I posted above...

Giff Gaff: £12 a month PAYG, 250 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data, free Giff Gaff to Giff Gaff calls/texts for 3 months.

Re: Thost that are dumb enough to think a phone is a status symbol of success

Re: These may be...

@ChrisC: Your assumption is absolutely correct. My ideal drive would be one that effectively houses 2 seperate drives within one 2.5" shell, for instance a 64GB SSD and 500+GB HD. However, it would report itself to the OS as being 1 drive with 2 partitions (C: and D: respectively). Better yet, my ideal drive would maybe allow me to reduce the capacity of C: (the SSD part) which could then be used as a cache for D: (the spinny part) giving me the best of everything.

@deadmonkey: The drive wouldn't determine what goes where, I would. Much like I do now with my traditional HD split into 2 paritions: OS/Apps goes on C: and Data goes on D:

Re: To survive

Having seen some of the stuff* in Hollister I believe the motivation for "subdued" lighting is not the utility charges!
